I would like to be able to incorporate the framemaker file name into
the title of my document.  If I make use of the variable "Filename
(Short)" I am able to get the results that I want with the exception
of the ".fm" that comes along for the ride.  Does anyone know of an
alternate method of getting the filename returned WITHOUT the .fm
extension.


This option is not available natively in FrameMaker.

A workaround is available in the context of FM->PDF or FM->PS workflows: as part of a one-time setup, you can place the filename variable in a text frame, add short PostScript code fragments before and after it, and tag the text frame as PS code. The PS fragments will remove the extension and control the formatting of the filename.

If this approach is applicable, I can send you (or anyone else interested) a .fm file demonstrating the workaround.
